The Min & Max Price column attributes will only be available when Min/Max is turned On for the batch.
Buy List Validation
On the Buy List Validation page, you can address any MSKUs needing action. An alert will be displayed at the bottom of the screen for Unresolved Issues.
Merging Duplicates
If there are duplicates in your Buy List, you'll see the warning Duplicates in Buy List.
Click Merge Duplicate to merge the quantities of the duplicates into a single listing.
If you have multiple accounting data points, such as under Buy Cost, Supplier, or Purchased Date, it will display as the average cost/unit under Buy Cost and "multiple" for the Supplier and Purchased Date.
Each separate purchase will show as its own line in the Inventory Replenishment pages.
Replenishing MSKUs
If an item is in your inventory, you will see the warning This Item already exists in your inventory.
Click Replenish this Item and choose to use the existing MSKU or a new MSKU.
If a batch has more than two items that are being replenished, you can do this in bulk by selecting the Bulk Replenishments Options button.
By clicking Replenish All, this feature will automatically use your existing MSKU if there is only one option available. If there are multiple MSKUs to choose from for a particular ASIN, a pop-up will appear allowing you to select the MSKU you wish to Use.
Selecting the Use New MSKUs option will generate new MSKUs for those items based on your MSKU Customization settings in InventoryLab unless you have included an MSKU in your Buy List. In this instance, the MSKU included in the buy list will be used.
For additional details on replenishing a product in your Inventory, see our video guide to listing a replenishment.
Parent/Child ASINs
If the batch includes a Parent ASIN, the warning This is a parent ASIN, and has multiple variations will be displayed.
Click Select Correct Variation to choose the correct Child ASIN.
A pop up will appear with the Child ASIN information. Click Select next to the correct Child ASIN.
For more information on this topic, please see Parent/Child ASINs.
Batch Creation

You can manually add additional products to the batch, import another Buy List to add to the batch, or move forward in the process by entering your Box Content Information and creating shipments.
If you want to create your own buy list to import, we have also made that option available.
